Live Fields is a Forge app that utilizes Jira UI Modifications (UIM). Due to this, there are some inherent limitations within Live Fields that stem from this Forge module. Atlassian has documented a few known limitations here. Specific limitations for Live Fields are listed below.
Watch this page to receive updates to limitations as Atlassian makes updates to the UIM!
Issue Transition screen support
Currently, Live Fields does not support the Issue Transition screen as a location for implementing UI modifications. This is due to the Issue Transition screen still being a Preview feature.
Mixed project type support
The two views currently supported by Live Fields - Issue create view and Issue view - have different levels of support based on the type of Jira project. Currently, the following is available:
Issue create view
Company-managed and team-managed projects in Jira Software
Company-managed and team-managed projects in Jira Work Management
Issue view
Company-managed and team-managed projects in Jira Software only
Unsupported Jira products
Currently, the Jira Service Management and Product Discovery products are not supported in Live Fields.
Looping over fields
A specific limitation exists when creating your Live Fields scripts - iterating through a list of fields using forEach is currently unsupported.
This is due to the way UIM works; UIM requires that an app signals in advance which fields are to be modified. When using a forEach loop to perform identical actions on an array of fields, Live Fields is currently not able to inform UIM of the fields being modified, so the script will fail.
